I didn't coin the term, but I love it! Armchair prospecting is panning for gold using dirt you purchase from someone else, either in person or online. I live in Florida, and I don't think there are any gold mines here, so I decided to try panning in my living-room! I'd watched my brother pan dirt he brought back from Alabama, and I panned a little myself, and thought it would be a nice hobby.
I am on a very low fixed income, so I can't buy the high priced large amounts of dirt, but I can bid on some here and there, buy a little, and pan it. I also doubt I will be able to purchase any of the finer tools like a millers table, or sluice box setup. This is bare bones, a couple of pans, some dirt, some water, and me! I will chronicle my experiences with panning for gold at home and I really hope that you all get some giggles and grins, and maybe learn from me as I am learning from others!
I'd like to thank Gold paydirt reviews for their videos on YouTube and their wonderful advice, and also for their referral of goldprospectorsspace.com . It's a wonderful place to meet prospectors from all over who have all levels of experience!
Anyway, happy reading!
